Definitions
- the present invention relates to an improvement in the performance of liners called "wet and compressed” liners, installed in the cylinder blocks of internal combustion engines and particularly Diesel engines with precombustion chambers.
- the liners called “suspended”, unlike those called “compressed”, have on their upper part, a cylindrical flange for their support in the cylinder block. This entails large interaxial distances between cylinders and vaults or reinforcements in the intercylinder plane to avoid the depression of the liner when tightening down the cylinder head. Further, the cooling of the upper part of the liner is from beneath the support of the flange, which reduces its effectiveness in the hottest zone.
- O-ring sealing systems permit then, the reduction of the surface of support of the liner as a function of the allowable value of the support pressure limit, called that of caulking, which depends on the resistance of the materials in contact.
- rib material is particularly more interesting than increasing the thickness of the liner to the detriment of motor weight and heat exchanging.
- the shape and placement of these ribs should be compatible with casting in a centrifuged chill-mold to retain the benefit of this type of fabrication. They will be very spread-out and therefore will present a large lateral surface allowing good removal of heat.
- the flats in the intercylinder plane will be sufficiently extended to form, at each lateral extremity, a rib joining with the liner barrel to give rigidity to the compressed portion of the liner.
- the ovalization of the liner under the action of cylinder head tightening, tightening which can be accentuated to obtain better sealing and greater longevity of the head gasket or to avoid retightening, is thereby considerably reduced which decreases piston wear and energy consuming friction.
- FIG. 1 represents, in elevation and half-section, a compressed liner constructed according to the invention, the half-section showing the thickness of the supporting ear of the prechamber;
- FIG. 2 is a view from the left showing the stiffening ribs starting from this support ear;
- FIG. 3 shows a transverse section of the liner at the level C
- FIG. 4 is a view from above showing the contour of the upper rim and its supporting ear of the combustion chamber.
- the liner thus represented is installed in a compressed condition with its face 1 contacting the cylinder head and its shoulder 2 inside the cylinder block (not shown).
- the liner is prolonged by a skirt 3.
- the compressed portion between 1 and 2 exhibits, in addition to its reinforced thickness 4 on the one hand, two diametrically opposed flats 5 which are perpendicular to the plane of alignment of cylinders and permitting reduction of the interaxial distance between cylinders, and a resultant reduction in the thickness which is compensated for by the rounded junctions 7 with the cylindrical surface of the sleeve thus forming reinforced sections on either side of the thinnest zone 6.
- longitudinal ribs 8 are distributed around the rest of the periphery of the compressed sleeve 4, some coming together under the support ear 9 of the prechamber and then diverging along the surface of the sleeve as shown in FIG. 2.
- the ribs 8 and reinforcements 7 are essentially equidistant on the liner periphery. Their length will be limited to the level 10, as indicated in FIGS. 1 and 2, in the case where the shape of the block limits the dimensions of the shoulder 2.
- the compressed type of internal combustion engine liner of the invention is characterized by the fact that the thickness 4 of the compressed part is reinforced while maintaining a reduced interaxial distance between cylinders through the provision of two longitudinal flats 5 perpendicular to the plane of the cylinders and diametrically opposed.
- the resultant reduced thickness 6 of the liner is compensated for by joining the said flats 5 with concave roundings 7 to the surface of the liner, thus forming thick reinforcements on the two sides of the thinnest zone 6.
- Longitudinal reinforcing ribs 8, essentially equidistant with the reinforcements 7, are distributed around the liner periphery.
- the ribs 8 and reinforcement zones 7 stop at a level 10 at a slight distance from the support shoulder 2 in the motor cylinder block when this may permit provision of a reduced support flange 2, notably in compact engines.
- an ear 9 for support of the prechamber on the face 1 in contact with the head is reinforced by two longitudinal ribs 8 which then separate along the sleeve surface.
- the ribs 8, and zones of reinforcement 7 of flats 5 will have a radial thickness essentially equal to their width and are joined to the liner surface by round-offs of a radius at least equal to this width as shown in the figures where the radial thicknesses and widths of the ribs 8 and reinforcement zones 7 are slightly less than the thickness 4 of the compressed zone of the liner.
- the described figures represent a ribbed liner in the case of a Diesel engine with a precombustion chamber provided on the lower face of the head, as in the type described in the French Patent Application No. 76/17030 in the name of the applicant.
- the block of this motor may be of aluminum cast under pressure to reduce the weight and increase heat transfer, the interaxial distance between cylinders being reduced to the minimum thanks to flats 5 milled on the peripheral surface of the liner for the height of the liner in the water jacket, the water jacket permitting circulation of water between liners; the zones 6 made thin by the flats 5 being reinforced by the adjacent ridges 7.
- Two longitudinal ribs 8 parallel to the axis of the liner and essentially equidistant from themselves and the end ridges 7 run along the half of the liner opposite to the prechamber.
- the latter installed in the head, rests against the ear 9 formed by the upper flange of the liner.
- This ear is supported by two ribs 8 which diverge in order to diffuse the strong forces of compression engendered by the passage from the prechamber with respect to the head surface and to stiffen the barrel of the liner at the most appropriate places.
- wet and compressed liners may be employed in Diesel engines with a prechamber installed in the head face while using large tightening forces in order to obtain a high pressure in the sealing zones which assures the long life of the head gasket and the dispensing with retightening.
- the advantage inherent in the use of these liners, as pointed out above, are thus made available to the motorist and particularly of the dieselist without subjecting the liners to deformations prejudicial to piston wear.
